Alasdair Macleod the other day compared the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to the empire of Genghis Khan whose name in English is just Great Leader. The Mongol Empire reached its height under his grandson Kublai Khan. The Mongol Empire combined economic and military power into the hands of one man. The modern SCO works cooperatively as a competitor to NATO and the European Union. Ankara, the capitol of Turkey, is 4,806 miles (7,734.5 kilometers) from Shanghai. Yet the Turkish government is exploring membership in the SCO because their EU acceptance is stalled and the EU looks a lot less attractive. Who wants to wind up like Greece anyway? Doctors and nurses work for months without paychecks. They’ve had riots just about every week for 150 weeks.
The European Central Banks have announced a negative interest rate policy which is designed to inflate their currency, the euro. The Turks have historically been a center for trading gold for anything of value in the Mideast for a very long time. They are smart enough to figure out that holding gold or a gold backed currency is a better deal for them than taking their savings and investments and exchanging them for euros which are being inflated. And then there is the policy decision of the ECB to allow the Bankers to seize deposits to pay off their bad loans. Who wants to put their money in that bank?
The SCO is a cooperative military alliance that needs to be compared to NATO. The Russians recently sold their S-400 anti-aircraft system to China. The Chinese will sell their version of the S-400 to Iran and their other SCO allies. The US has been trying to sell the F-35 to its NATO allies. Canada has refused the F-35 because it would endanger the lives of their pilots. The man who created the F-16 said the F-35 cannot win a dog fight against a MIG-21 from the 1950s.
To understand why American weapons in the modern era do not work you need to understand who runs the US and what their goals are. Catherine Austin Fitts, the former US Housing Commissioner, says the Power Elite stole $40 trillion from us. And they plan to steal trillions more. The people who own the federal government see the F-35 as an opportunity to steal money. They do not care about defending America. The children of Wall Street billionaires do not join the US Army and fight wars. In fact it would be in the interests of the Bankers for America to lose a war and hence lose its sovereignty to some international bodies like the UN, the IMF and the European Union. If Americans were no longer allowed to vote for or against the people who ran their lives, they would stop dreaming about the day when someone would arrest the Bankers and seize their assets.
People overseas are not restricted to listening to the Six corporations controlled by the Zionists who lie to us on a daily basis. The US Media did lie us into the Iraq war. That was a benefit to Israel and to the people looting the US Treasury. Foreigners have figured out that the Pentagon is a corrupt institution. They would rather buy the Chinese version of the S-400 just as Iran bought the HQ-9 which was China’s version of the S-300. People vote with their feet. They are walking on over to the SCO.
People are also voting with their money. Countries and businesses are lining up to trade with the SCO nations. Who wants American Genetically Modified Organisms? They turn lab mice into sterile runts by the third generation. Does America export anything besides weapons the US taxpayers paid for and hence gave away?
People around the world can see Americans who have really serious backgrounds in Finance talking about the Death of the Dollar on YouTube. Type Jim Rickards into the search box. He is a Financial Adviser to the Pentagon and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. He says the dollar will be devalued 80% making the price of imported goods rise 500%. Why would you hold dollars if your job depended on your ability to pay pensions to workers in Asia or Europe or Latin America?MOREHERE
